My daughter and I did the Mt Pilatus hike tour and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Our guide Ezra was fantastic. He was informative and had a great knowledge of the mountain and surrounding area. It was a pleasure spending the day with him. Thank you.

Echo trails helped make our experience of the Swiss Alps truly special. My wife and I are fairly self-sufficient, but we had never hiked in the Alps before, so we chose the 8 day semi-guided tour and inn-to-inn hike. The itinerary was planned out very thoughtfully and thoroughly, with the first day guided. It included amazing hikes with spectacular views, and trips to the best destinations like Jungfraujoch. The hotels are booked at each point, with luggage transported and waiting for us after each hike Leo our guide was amazing. He was patient with us, showed us the important apps, signs, maps, and how to use the half-pass while traveling the Swiss Alps, and gave us a rich background on Swiss culture and history during our first hike. We felt completely comfortable navigating the Swiss Alps when it was time for us to hike to our next hotel. Whether you like big solo inn-to-inn hikes, or prefer to experience natural splendor in groups, we highly recommend Echo Trails!Hiked the Gratwanderung and got to ride the Stoosbahn.

What an amazing day! We ended our 12 day vacation (river cruise) with this private hike. Our guide, Andrea delivered everything as described. After meeting at our hotel in Lucerne, we took a train, bus, funicular and chairlift to get to the top of the peak. All were on time and fun in their own way (especially the newly built funicular, an engineering wonder). Once atop the peak, we hiked for 3.5 hours along the ridge to fronalpstock peak. Words cannot describe the beauty we saw. We were blessed with a beautiful day so short sleeves and shorts or pants were perfect. I recommend hiking boots, or even hiking shoes, and not sneakers. 2 of us found hiking poles useful, one pair was provided by Andrea upon request. There were 7 adults, most between 57-60, moderately fit. It was more difficult for some than others but Andrea stayed with those who lagged behind encouraging us along the way. We were never made to feel like we had to rush. Once at the 2nd peak we had a delicious meal, cafeteria style. We chose to hike 1/2 way down instead of taking the first of 2 descending chairlifts and by doing so we stopped at a farm and purchased fresh mountain cheese. Our trip back to Lucerne was reversed with the funicular, bus and train. In the end, it was an 11 hour day and we enjoyed every single moment. We couldn't have had a better guide, Andrea was sooo nice, so patient and so helpful. He even helped us navigate the purchase of our own train tickets for our train ride the next day. I highly, highly recommend this tour. It is 1 week later and I am still on a "high". Warning, we had a lot of muscle soreness in the 2 days following the hike but it was well worth it. I look forward to returning to Europe and hiring Andrea again!
